Book Blurb:

Ali Ryan has dreamed of being a hot shot
detective that solves high profile cases. Her love for crime novels and police
dramas was her inspiration to become a cop, but it was her pushy demeanor and
sassy impulsive attitude that earned her the detective promotion she coveted.
But is your dream job worth sacrificing the ones you love?

The fall semester for New Paltz has begun
complete with a dead body turning up in the dorms. Police claim the case is
open and shut, but Detective Ali Ryan doesn’t think so. She throws herself into
the case desperately searching for answers as the death toll on campus rises;
each made to look like a suicide.

With Ali getting closer to uncovering the truth,
the killer wants to make his attacks more personal. His sights are set on
Detective Ryan and her sister. Police are forced to place them under their
protection, but Ali is determined to hunt down the killer and stop him before
he kills again. But how far is Detective Ryan willing to go to protect her
sister and take down the sadistic killer?

Jess
scowled at him before walking further into the room examining her neighbor
extensively with her hypnotic green eyes.

“There’s
something different about you.”

His
paranoia seeped in; making him question if she figured out he was planning
something fiendish. Maybe she noticed the change in his demeanor or maybe she
saw the black gloves and mask sitting in the shopping bags or maybe…

“You
got a haircut,” she said with a smile; checking out the shorter brown hair
spiked up with gel in it. “I like it. It brings out the green in your eyes.”

“But
my eyes are hazel.”

I asked Author Andrew Hess who he would cast to play his main characters if Campus Killer were ever made into a movie. Here is his response!

Detective Ali Ryan

She is by far one of the hardest for me to cast. To fill this role, the actress would have to be smart, funny, sexy, a take no nonsense kind of woman. I can thank the show Marvel’s Agent’s of S.H.I.E.L.D. for bringing this actress into the mix this season as well. The woman that would best fit the role for Detective Ali Ryan would be Adrianne Palicki

Officer Rodney Johnson

He is the strong former nightclub bouncer turned cop. His size and demeanor is intimidating, but since meeting the love of his life, getting married and having a kid, Rodney Johnson has shown a more sensitive side as well. Shemar Moore would be a good fit despite not being as tall as I would like.

Amanda Ryan

Many would think Amanda Ryan would be a naive college girl that’s fallen for a bad boy, but that’s not entirely true. Since moving to New Paltz and having her big sister around, who happens to be a bad ---- cop, she is more grounded and wants to know any good dirt on Ali’s cases. A fitting actress for this role would be Emma Roberts.

Shawn

Mark L. Young played a great role as Scottie P. in We’re the Millers and feel he could pull off the role of Shawn much better than anyone I can think of.

Matthew

A man of mystery and passion. The man to fit that role would need to do the same. Someone that has the look that could drive a woman wild and still have you guessing his intentions would be Amin Joseph.

Mark Thompson/Nick DeFalc

(perfect pic right? Picked it myself!)

The creepy killer that is obsessed with getting revenge for his break-up and loneliness. Thomas Dekker has the exact look for Nick DeFalco. He has acted in horror films such as Fear Clinic, Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) and All About Evil.

Lieutenant Esposito

(My all time favorite actor to play a cop!)The hot tempered Lieutenant would be played by Cheech Marin. He is known for his many roles including Cheech and Chong or his time spent co-starring on Nash Bridges as Joe Dominguez. I feel Cheech Marin would be best suited to bring the comedic hot tempered Lieutenant to life.
